starred review
A biography of astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell, who helped build a
radio telescope that contributed to her discovery of pulsars, a new type
of star. Some scientists consider it the greatest astronomical discovery
of the twentieth century. Despite this achievement, she was overlooked
in favor of two male colleagues when the Nobel Prize for physics was
awarded. Bell is still working and teaching today, recognized for her
contribution.
